Banana and its beauty and health value

Bananas have been used by ancient Egyptians for wound dressing in the past. The banana leaves, fruit and the flowering sheath are being utilized effectively as medical treatment for open wounds.

Here’s how they biblically do it in the past:

They first mashed the fruit before applying it as a poultice over rashes, infected scratches, grazes and burns. A banana skin or a banana leaf warmed in hot water is then placed over the affected area to cover and contain the mashed fruit.

The banana still serves more or less the same function with today’s generation. Surfers often used mashed banana pulp to treat sunburned shoulders and noses. Cool….

Aching heels, corns and blisters may be rubbed by the inside of a banana skin. The flowering bract may be used as a heel guard too to ease cracks in the heels of hikers.

And good heavens, here’s another surprise… the flowering bracts may be used to treat scalp problems!

Boil the flowering bracts with few ripe banana skins and use it as a hair rinse for oily and falling hair problems.
